2 INSTALLATION

The LIN Interface is designed for use in vehicles equipped with a LIN enabled (secondary) alternator option. For a

complete list of supported vehicle brands and models, please visit the Mastervolt website: www.mastervolt.com.

The LIN Interface can be used in combination with Mastervolt MLI batteries (MLI Ultra 12/2500 or 12/5000). It will

guaranty a seamless integration of the MLI Ultra battery into the vehicles LIN Bus and provide the alternator and

Engine Control Unit (ECU) with the necessary data from the MLI Ultra battery to monitor and charge the battery

accordingly. Only one MLI Ultra battery is allowed to be present in the connected MasterBus network.

LIN Interface – User and

Installation Manual

Steps:

1. Mount the LIN Interface to any flat surface. The LIN Interface comes with

a DIN rail mount option. Alternatively, use the two mounting holes (1).

2. Wire the screw terminal (2).

a. LIN Battery +

b. LIN Bus Line

c. LIN GND

Make sure that the power cable is fused with a 1A fuse.

3. Insert the MasterBus cable (included, 1m) to integrate the interface into

the MasterBus network. Make sure that the MasterBus network is

properly terminated at the two ends with a terminator (3).

4. A flashing LED (4) indicates that the MasterBus communication is

working.

5. Use a MasterBus compatible remote control panel such, as the

EasyView 5 or PC with MasterAdjust software, to monitor the battery.

See chapter 3 for the LIN Interface MasterBus features. For more information

refer to the user manual of the remote control panel

3 OPERATION

The LIN Interface requires no configuration. Once installed correctly, it will start operating automatically. The LIN

Interface, once powered from the LIN side, automatically starts polling the necessary data from the MLI Ultra

battery via MasterBus. It will translate this data into vehicle conform LIN messages and respond to LIN requests

received from the vehicle. In case of no active communication on the LIN Bus, the LIN Interface will go to sleep

mode (disappear from the MasterBus), until the LIN Bus communication becomes active again.

To maintain the optimal battery capacity, the battery should be charged to 100% every week.

The following table shows the LIN Interface items displayed on a monitoring device connected to the MasterBus

network.
